That's a good question. I hope the crew gets paid what they would have made in tips. One of the articles I read said that the refunds that Carnival was giving back included the gratuities. That being said that means that the only way the staff is getting anything is if Carnival pays them. I hope they do.

CNBC said that pax were getting comp'd all onboard expenses other than casino charges, so to me that would include tips.

Splendor engine fire they also comp'd onboard expenses.

(odd you never see this from the media when mentioning compensation and in some cases this could be a significant amount)
